Games Cancelling Mid-Installation

AuKaToVa · Apr 3, 2022

Howdy! I'm trying to install a handful of games to my Xbox One after several months in which I only opened it three or four times to use Spotify. Games will start downloading, crash after a few seconds, and it cycles through the list of games in the queue until it runs out. I've tried checking for system updates, freeing space (I have ~210GB free right now), restarting, doing a full shutdown, and everything else the virtual assistant suggested. It's still doing it. Help please???

Hi, I hope you're doing great out there despite the issue that you're experiencing. I am an Independent advisor and I am here to help you in regard to your concern.

Kindly perform an extended powercycle and reset your network hardware by following the steps below:

1. Unplug the power cable from the back of the router, modem, or gateway for 5 minutes. If you have a router and a modem, unplug the power cable from both devices.

2. Press and hold the Xbox button on your console for 10 seconds or until it turns off then wait for 2 minutes before turning it on again.

3. After 5 minutes, plug the modem or gateway in first, and wait for all the lights to return to their normal state.

4. If you are using a router, plug in the router and wait for all the lights to return to their normal state.

If that didn't work, you may need to reset the console keeping your games and apps. Don't worry because as long as you're connected to Xbox Live your saved progress, games, will not be deleted. It will remove all of your accounts but you can add all of them later on.

Press the Xbox button to open the guide.

Select Profile & system > Settings > System > Console info.

Select Reset console.

Reset and keep my games & apps.

Im having the same problem with this game. It just keeps canceling in mid download. Really annoyed by this.

Hey there Phazer0nest!

When you tried an offline install did you completely cancel the install before going offline? If it was still mid installation when you disconnected your console it's worth cancelling it completely. If you're still having troubles, can you check to make
sure the disc doesn't have any scratches or cracks on it? If you have a friend with an Xbox One, see if you're able to install your disc on their console.

Let us know how it goes

They would be scheduled to deposit in mid-June. There's no need to cancel anything in order to get the deposit.

If you cancel the update mid-stream you essentially have corrupted the game install. The Xbox is updating the game software as it is downloading the patch that way it does not have to reserve hard drive space for a potentially large patch. Users would
be complaining why cant I use my entire hard drive.

Turn off automatic updates.

Put it offline.

FYI PC's also have an auto-update mode now as well.
